Days to go – 15
The sides of our cube which is going to house all of our degree show pieces have finally been made! After many weeks of planning, drilling, sawing and a few altercations with the workshop…it feels like a great sense of achievement to have it done.
The panels will be bolted together along with a base, aswell as rigging up our own lighting. It was important for us to create our own context/ space to present our work, as display has always been key to how each work is completed.
Within group shows the work you display will always react and be influenced by the work around it – by creating our own gallery space/ box we can have more freedom to play around with display. The 8ft x 8ft cube will look like a crate from the exterior but a 'white cube' on the inside. We are interested in it also acting as a holding bay for our work, displaying some pieces as though they might be in storage or in 'situ'. This unfinished aesthetic lends itself well to the way we work.
We have been inspired by Keith Tyson's installations and The Hut Projects modes of display.
We are just looking forward to getting into our space on Monday and assembling it now!
